Ekhlas was just 14 when Daesh came to her town in northern Iraq, where they killed several men and kidnapped her along with thousands of other Yazidi women.

The abuse was so bad she even tried to kill herself.
‘He picked me out of 150 girls by drawing lots,’ she said.

Hollywood and the media, he said, are programming the public to not only become more secular, but they are desensitizing society to evil.

"All you have to do is turn on your television or head over to the movies, and you are going to see something in your home or something on the big screen that glorifies the occult, glorifies Spiritism, glorifies demonism," said Payne, who is also pastor of Leadership Development and Christian Education at Antioch Bible Church and the former chaplain of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks.

He continued: "If you have more and more people who are watching programming on demonism, on Spiritism, on occultism, on Satanism, you are going to have growing number of people who get scared.

"The Bible, in particular the New Testament, is not bashful about the reality of the devil and demons. They do not talk about them metaphorically or allegorically. They very clearly say they were real. They spoke, and they controlled people."

In the U.K., the problem is even more severe, and exorcisms are now reportedly a booming industry.

All Christians know that God kicked Lucifer out of heaven, denied him and his followers a body, removed the offer of repentance, and realized that democrats are a lost cause and forgiveness is futile. So, while rape and murder are bad and harm a few people, being a liberal is an unforgivable sin because it destroys entire civilizations. There is no sin in the entire universe worse than being a socialist. Rape and murder can be forgiven. Being a liberal can not.

All democrats hate the United States and it's Constitution. Nothing new there. How to use the fake monniker of equality to make people think raw sewage is as good as refrigerated whole cows milk. Show a black kid that chose not to go to school or get a job as a poor discriminated against victim. Show and drug dealing, violent, alcoholic, Mexican whose wife and kids are on welfare and food stamps as he works tax free and suggest that somehow he is getting a raw deal. Bring in Muslims to rape women and blow things up and some Mexicans to commit crimes without getting deported or going to jail.
